Varis V.3 Mitsubishi Evo X World Debut - #TENSEMA17

Historically, you'd find the hottest and newest parts at Tokyo Auto Salon and it would eventually trickle down to other parts of the world. Only in rare occasions do you ever see a TAS demo car debut at SEMA first. The last time we saw this happen was Bulletproof Automotive's Concept One FR-S. This year the guys at Bulletproof Automotive partnered up with Varis again for an advanced world debut of its version 3 widebody design for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. It's not just any Evo 10; this is the unicorn Evo X Final Edition.

It's not just a widebody Evo, either. Ben Shaffer, founder of Bulletproof Automotive, will tell you about its world debut on the Hyperlock center lock forged wheels or the first ever R35 GT-R calipers with Overtake carbon ceramic brake conversion. Widebody and awesome wheels might sound like the perfect Instagram famous spec sheet, but this car is beyond that. Under the hood is a fully built AMS crate motor with an ETS Precision 6766 BB turbo good for 800hp.

The car is headed for Tokyo Auto Salon next, but Ben also plans on taking it on the track just as he did with the Concept One.

    The show must go on, as they say, and so that’s exactly what organizers of the much-loved annual Tokyo Auto Salon did, taking the 3-day event that usually happens in Chiba’s Makuhari Messe convention center and translating it (metaphorically, not literally; it was still largely in Japanese) into both streaming video and 3D.

    Super Street: Anytime we talk about a vehicle prototype, the overwhelming response, once some of the initial smoke has cleared (and people are done cursing out the manufacturer and demanding that their design team be fired immediately), centers heavily on claims that the production car will look nothing like the demo car. In some cases,

    The “most powerful 3-cylinder in the world,” applied to Toyota’s much talked about GR Yaris still sounds a little strange when you hear it, but you can’t deny the nasty 250+hp and over 260 lb-ft. of torque that are delivered through an eager AWD system, all packed into a relatively lightweight (by modern hatchback standards)

    As if to pour a little salt into the wound that the hottest hatch in ages, the AWD Toyota GR Yaris, is not being brought to North America, the interwebs has begun to conspire against us by teasing us with modified versions from some of the biggest tuners in the biz. In December, those sneak
